Abstract

Dilated cardiomyopathy is myocardial dysfunction that predominantly presents with ventricular dilation and systolic dysfunction. Onset is usually gradual, except in acute myocarditis. Generally, the prognosis is poor; up to 70% of patients die within five years of diagnosis. Therefore, these patients are usually candidates for heart transplantation.
